UNC commit Jalek Felton hits game-winner at the buzzer

After taking an inbound pass, Felton dribbled the ball across the half court line with a defender closely guarding him. With a hand in his face and time running down, he pulled up for a jumper well outside the three-point arc and let it fly.

He threw up a high-arching shot over the outstretched arms of the defender as time expired. The ball caromed off the backboard before dropping into the hoop which sent the capacity crowd into a frenzy.

Felton is part of a four-man recruiting class for the Tar Heels in 2017. He’s joined by big men Brandon Huffman and Sterling Manley as well as shooting guard Andrew Platek.

Felton is the highest-rated commit in the class, regarded by most recruiting outlets as a fringe five-star player with a lot of upside. The 6-foot-2, 175-pound combo guard has been committed to UNC for two years.

He brings a high level of intensity and athleticism to a Tar Heels squad that will likely call on him for immediate contributions in his first season with the team.
